On a MBP M1 MAX w/ 64GB RAM

 

Activiting lens blur always slows that image down to a crawl...every....time.  Becomes near unusable.  Activity monitor spikes above 500% for cpu usage (ram usage normal).    Both computer and apps are updated to latest osx and versions.

Hey, @afeinphoto. Welcome to the Lightroom Community. I'll need more info to help you figure this out. 

 

Where do you keep your Lightroom catalog? On an internal or external drive? Do you have a recent catalog backup? 

Besides the slow-down, monitor the activity & performance in the Activity Monitor. 

 

As primary steps, try this:

1 - Pause Sync in Lightroom.

2 - Go to Lightroom > Preferences > Performance > Add additional space for Camera Raw Caches and purge existing caches. 

 

Let me know how it goes. Thanks!
